Women in Saudi Arabia planned to drive on Saturday without worrying about the usual social and legal repercussions that hold them back from getting behind the wheel. Thankfully, luckily, the protests went off without a hitch.

The plan was always for The Simpsons to lose a major character this year, but not like this. Marcia Wallace, 70, star on The Bob Newhart Show and voice of the wisecracking fourth grade teacher Edna Krabappel on The Simpsons, died Saturday.

The public mudslinging over Deadline.com's fate was already bad enough between Nikki Finke and her boss, Penske Media Corp. CEO Jay Penske. But now Finke's chief lieutenant has turned on her and aligned with Penske now that Finke's seemingly on the way out.

The National Security Agency's website was down for several hours on Friday. But no one will confirm whether the outage was caused by a group of brash hackers attacking the website or if the hamster who normally keeps the place running simply stopped spinning on its wheel.

If a Russian diplomat offers a young, up-and-coming professional in Washington an all-expenses paid trip to the mother country, complete with fancy hotels, drinks, and meetings with Vladimir Putin's political underlings, well, that guy just might be a spy.

Sheldon Adelson was probably the worst bully on the playground, if his ideas about how to negotiate with Iran are any indication. The billionaire Republican donor thinks Obama should fire a nuclear warning shot at Iran to force them to disband their nuclear program. No big deal.

The party finally happened, y'all. Apple unveiled the rest of its major products and software for 2013 on Tuesday. The software was free, the MacBook Pros were cheap(er), and the new iPads looked thin and shiny.

A common Republican criticism of the Obamacare is it's encouraging employers to keep work at part time to avoid health care costs, ruining the economy in the process. But the last jobs report before the healthcare law took effect effectively debunks that charge entirely.

Facebook's got a real case of the Mondays. So collect yourself up off the floor, because you're not the only one having trouble posting new statuses or posting selfies: the social network has been down for everyone all morning. (Update: crisis averted.)

Tomorrow is the big day! Apple hosts its' "everything else" press conference where the Cupertino, California tech company will release, well, everything else. The typical whisperers and rumormongers that accompany an Apple launch have been busy, and this is what they're predicting.

If there was already an obituary, it's only appropriate that Albuquerque residents hold a funeral for fallen fictional father, teacher, drug lord and murderer Walter White, but some objected to the Breaking Bad character receiving a burial plot in a real graveyard.

The United States' relationship with Mexico fractured slightly after the initial National Security Agency spying reveal, so this latest one surely won't help. Turns out the NSA has full access to the President's email account.

The fractures within the Republican were on full display Sunday morning, as young troublemaker Ted Cruz told party leadership what he thinks about their plans as they tried to move past the disastrous government shutdown.

If you read one story about corrupt senior Navy officials, NCIS officers being supplied by defense contractors with vacations, hookers and Lady Gaga tickets in exchange for information and influence resulting in millions in overcharging, the Washington Post has you covered this morning.

Heading into the tech company's highly anticipated initial public offering, a problem with users leaving Twitter because they find it too confusing or unnecessary isn't something the company wants to hear about.

When you hear stories like this, you think initially it can't be true, that it's something straight out of a Cormac McCarthy novel. But nope, it happened: a former Mexican drug cartel leader was killed in the middle of a kid's party by a gang of gunmen dressed as clowns.

Nikki Finke's been quiet lately, but that doesn't mean she's going to roll over and let other gossip columnists write about her ongoing feud with her boss without a response. Especially when some of Finke's favorite foes — Richard Johnson and Sharon Waxman — are all loosely involved.

The New York Post put a somewhat controversial Thought Catalog writer on the cover of Saturday's paper. By mid-afternoon, the Post tracked the girl down again to get her reaction to being put on the cover of the New York Post.

JP Morgan Chase has agreed to pay a record breaking fine to the Justice Department to settle federal and state lawsuits over the bank's mortgage-backed securities business at the height of the financial collapse, according to multiple reports. This is everything we know so far.

If the U.S. didn't want Larry Summers, Israel would have loved to have the former U.S. treasury secretary run its banking system. Unfortunately for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Summers turned him down.

Ted Cruz isn't very popular nationally, or within the Republican party, but there's one place that has so far stood by him through this very difficult, profitable time for the junior Senator. He's doing just fine back in his pseudo-home state of Texas. (Let's not forget that he is Canadian after all.)

Former Vice President Dick Cheney has unique health issues, in so far as his doctor once modified his care to ensure terrorists don't hack into the former lawmaker's defibrillator and kill him. Yes, you saw the same thing happen on Showtime's Homeland.

Batches of the rarest whiskey evaporated into thin air this week. Kentucky police are investigating the mysterious, abrupt disappearance of 65 cases of Pappy Van Winkle whiskey, the rarest bourbon in all the land, from its distillery that was discovered this week.
